More Counter Punch
Randy Lange of the (Bergen) Record gets a jab here for writing this in today's paper:
"The Jets would like the hurt the Chargers pass defense, which is next to worst in yardage allowed...." Then, he said the Jets will try to exploit the Chargers "passing defense weakness...."
What a poor job of analysis, using yardage as the measure of a defense. The Chargers are 15th in YPA allowed (6.91, which is better than the Jets, who are 19th at 7.11). The Chargers are fourth in fewest points allowed per passing attempt compared to 14th for the Jets. How is this a weak passing defense?
When you factor in the relative offenses, the matchup becomes worse for New York. While the Chargers are 7th best in YPA on offense, the Jets are 12th. San Diego is third best in points per passing attempt compared to 15th for the Jets. End.
